No 81 Ah, thought Bach

After much searching, Bach’s note-ladder has been found! With its help, we can now explain how Bach thought up the canons in his Goldberg Variations ...
J. S. Bach: Aria, aus: Goldberg-Variationen, BWV 988 • J. S. Bach: Variatio 28. a 2 Clav. • J. S. Bach: Variatio 3. Canone all’ Unisuono. a 1 Clav. • J. S. Bach: Variatio 6. Canone alla Seconda. a 1 Clav. • J. S. Bach: Variatio 9. Canone alla Terza. a 1 Clav. • J. S. Bach: Variatio 12. Canone alle Quarta • J. S. Bach: Variatio 30. Quodlibet. a 1 Clav., aus: Goldberg-Variationen, BWV 988
Artists: Aurum Ensemble Berlin: Andreas Pfaff (violin), Chang-Yun Yoo (viola), Christian Raudszus (violoncello)
In this commented concert for anyone age 6 and over, the canons in this cycle of variations are entertainingly brought to life. Selected canons are played, the different types of canon explained in a visual and humorous way, and the audience is invited to study and rehearse the »cabbage and turnip« canon from the quodlibet variation.
